As I've noted here before, my concern about the InBev acquisition of Anheuser-Busch stemmed from my fear that a Great Company would, under the new leadership, become Just Another Company. (And as I've also said here, and in other places, you don't have to like the beer in order to respect A-B's relentless, obsessive concern for quality. See, for example, this sort-of-related essay.)
